This Week at Big Finish
Catch up on all the latest news and releases from the worlds of Big Finish!
Another fantastically busy week at Big Finish got off to an explosive start with the return of Indira Varma as Suzie Costello in Torchwood: Moving Target – available to buy and download now!
Written by Guy Adams, this time-locked thriller pushes Torchwood Three's most infamous agent to her limit, when she's forced to defend the innocent civilian Alex (Naomi McDonald) from a vicious alien onslaught. Sci-Fi Bulletin gave the story a 10/10, saying that 'Once again this incarnation of Torchwood proves that being adult does not have to mean gratuitous sex, violence and swearing, but can be about dark moral choices. Highly recommended.' Pick up your copy today on its own, or as part of a money-saving Torchwood: Series 2 subscription.
Tuesday saw the announcement of a second set of Dark Shadows short stories. Dark Shadows: Haunting Memories will include four new stories, including a tale by Angelique herself, Lara Parker, writing for Big Finish for the first time.
The set follows on from this month's Dark Shadows: Echoes of the Past, the trailer for which can be heard below:
Another Sixties' classic returns to life this summer with The Avengers: The Lost Episodes Volume 6. Once again starring Julian Wadham and Anthony Howell as the eponymous investigators, the new volume finds the pair confronting extortionists, spies and industrial espionage.
The new box-set can be pre-ordered today ahead of its release in July from Big Finish, with a general release in late August. As with all new Big Finish releases, a download is unlocked with each CD purchase, enabling instant listening enjoyment. You can even download straight onto your smartphone using the Big Finish app, available for both iOS and Android devices.
Our next release came in the form of Survivors: Series 4, based on Terry Nation's classic post-apocalyptic drama.
Featuring Ian McCulloch, Lucy Fleming, Louise Jameson, Fiona Sheehan, Zoë Tapper and Ramon Tikaram, this terrifying new-box set can be enjoyed for just £25 on CD or £20 to download.
We finished up our week with some new updates for our upcoming titles. Doctor Who – The Companion Chronicles: The Second Doctor Volume 1 will be released with exclusive extra content in the form of all four scripts as PDF downloads, and a 24 minute music suite download specially assembled by composer Benji Clifford. New details for both Doctor Who – The War Doctor 3: Agents of Chaos and The Sacrifice of Sherlock Holmes are now live on their product pages. And perhaps most excitingly of all, a brand new trailer for UNIT: Shutdown has been revealed:
